I was very tough for me as a kid...if I told you you might not believe it...
so I am very sensitive to the needs of children and the elderly...and I always said I don't mind paying my share of taxes...well at 57 I don't have much time left to get ready if I am to maintain my standard of living...my goal is the same and I failed on the first attempt but the goal is the same but how to get there has changed...
but here lately I keep thinking about all the wasteful spending that the government keeps doing with our tax money...to fix the problem they need to get on the same retirement plan the average American gets to have...
My alarm was going off at 3 am and I was working 6 days a week 12 hrs. a day for a good while...but I normally work 48-54 hours a week anyway but usually get up at 5 a...don't get me wrong...I do appreciate my job but when I am driving to work early in the morning I think about those who don't go to work that are able to do so...and I have been paying my taxes faithfully without complaint...
Today I paid taxes on my 10 acres, right at 1000 dollars and right at 1500 dollars for my house taxes...just paid over 3000 dollars on house insurances, oh....and 400 dollars for flood insurance...then I get taxed at the gas pump and when I buy dog food and clothing I get taxed and..........it is never ending....everyone wants a piece of my pie...
to me most systems are set up with good intentions but then greed sets in and in a few years it goes south...some of the systems that are meant to help the needy are are great if you are truly needy but these systems need to be set up to help people get out of the rut and not keep them there...
I choose to do what I do because I want to have things but I also want to lead my family through example and my hope is that they rise higher than I...
